lol Well they're trying to make a difference and change has to start somewhere. Some parents are very lax and uncomfortable discipling their kids maybe they had controlling parents or were abused so they value freedom. Or don't know how to talk to their kids in a way that gives them structure. It's cool these people are able to come in and help because no one is a perfect parent and everyone has issues or weaknesses.

I didn't grow up in the best home and what was a wake up call for me was getting to spend the night at a friend's house from a different socio-economic background. It helped me realize how messed up my own family was. It motivated me to get out of there and do something with my life. Your environment can really become a prison.

Their clothes were not stained. the language they used was different. They had bedtimes and structure. Even the way they talked to each other was different. Going to my best friend's house was my sanctuary. I want better for myself, and I will never let my future children (hoping) live the life I had.

It is too late if those involved have no desire to change- if giving the children a better life and keeping them in their lives is not more important to the adults involved than the resistance to change. Some adults simply do not have the capacity to care enough to make change happen, or to accept that it needs to. Not every family can be saved. We can all only do our best, even if when exhausting all other options with ample time, the best is to remove the children so that they have the chance of a better life.

Being poor is no excuse to live like a dirty pig. And it is free to go to a park a walk making crafts with bits and bobs even just reading a story or watching a family movie together and most community have discounted and or free programs like soccer basketball swimming for low income family's.

You are right about everything. I wish more people would recognize it and that it isn't selfish if you choose not to have kids. I have lost count how many times I have been told how selfish I am because I do not want kids. I have also been told repeatedly that I am "incredibly selfish" because I "refuse to give my mother grandchildren". I have known since I was a teen that although I like kids I am not parental material and would not be a good parent. There are many reasons that I wouldn't. This includes lifestyle and financial reasons. I have a lifestyle and finances that would not accommodate a child and I am not willing to change. Knowing this about myself I have always made sure to have safeguards in place to prevent a situation that wouldn't be desirable for either a child or myself. I also knew if safeguards failed and I did end up pregnant I would place the child for adoption. People call me selfish but I always felt that it would be more selfish of me to have kids knowing how I feel. It also amazes me how many people still think that a women's ultimate goal and ambition in life is to get married and have kids and if a woman chooses not to then they will regret it and be miserable later on.

I feel sorry for the kids who have these lousy, lazy parents.

I honestly do wish that more people just openly admitted and accepted the fact that they shouldn't have kids in the first place. So many people have children not because they want them or are prepared for them but because it's the socially acceptable thing to do. Then later on down the line the parents realize that they made a mistake but it's too late, and stuff like this ends up happening. The parents are miserable because they feel exhausted and helpless and just give up. The kids feel miserable because they feel like the parents just don't care, or they feel like a burden because no one wants them. It's really really sad. I'm both grateful for my parents and grateful for the fact that I've decided to never reproduce.

I raised 3 teenage kids (they were each a year apart) as a single mom and yes it's crazy with a lot of kids in the house, each kid with 2 or 3 friends, BUT there were RULES and they either followed them or weren't allowed friends over. I was lucky and we lived in town in a big house with a nice yard for a fire pit and small garden. We didn't have any money even though I worked full time ++, but the girls learned to sew and my son started working at 13 as a dishwasher (he begged me) and we loved shopping at thrift stores togehter. Maybe I was just blessed with amazing kids who are all now amazing independent happy adults, but they all knew about and used birth control! There's a balance between allowing some stuff and not other. It's great the U.K. does this. I hope it works out for all involved.

JFC. That social worker should have taken Sean away a long time ago. Mom: "Let's go to the doctor's so you can't get pregnant" Sean: "No." Mom "Well, Ok then." Sean: *gets pregnant* Sean should have been taken away right then and there when she refused to go to the doctor's and the mother did nothing.

If the teen refuses to even go and see the doctor, what in the world are you supposed to do?

Sian mother failed her so bad, how you gonna allow your 14 years old daughter boyfriend to come in your house and sleep with your daughter that's just crazy

Really enjoyed this documentary and I'm pleased that there were positive changes and outcomes for both families involved. I felt a lot of really strong emotions of disgust and anger in the beginning, but I had to remind myself that there is a lot going on behind the scenes with these families. There is no quick fix.

that older boy smacked the little boy in the face/eye for no reason . the parents did nothing at 16:40

Your 16 year old soon to be BRICK-IN-LAW is holding a lighter and a cigarette in one hand leaning into a television that's inches from his face staring at Sponge Bob Square Pants. Looks like everyone's on board!!!

Because depression and poverty. There isn't the money to fix it up, and even if there were, depression prevents it from getting done and often recognizing it as something that needs to be done. Regardless, peeling wallpaper is not an inherent danger to health. Bare floorboards, as long as they are not splintering, aren't as well. There are far more important issues to be dealt with than cosmetics.

dawn jackson A real man doesn’t have to make the kid to be a parent. And in his situation he stepped up to the plate he got together with mom n she came with kids.

Her daughter was pregnant 3 months ago but lost the baby. She’s barely 16. By mom’s own admission, her daughter’s boyfriend stays over most nights. So mom tells her daughter to get on birth control. Doesn’t take her to the doc, doesn’t do anything at all to ensure that her daughter actually does it. The boyfriend cheated on her daughter and the daughter was getting mean emails from the other girl involved. Mom’s solution? Let her daughter drop out of school. The boyfriend is about to get the entire family evicted. The mother does NOTHING. This mother is neglectful to the level of being horribly abusive. Parents like her should be jailed. Parents like her slack off like this because nobody holds her accountable. They’re being told that Martin is getting them evicted and the boy just rolled his eyes and laugh. Shameful. Despicable. 😡

What I’m asking really is, does the mother not care about her getting prego because it comes with money? Lord I hope not. Lol!

Would you be willing to go through the requirements, (applicable degrees, certifications, specialized training, etc.,) hard work and time commitment to be a social worker or a related position ? Would you be willing to also pay more taxes to support hiring more people to work in social services and the support networks associated with the demographic's needs? We do have similar social services and many social workers who spend a lot of their personal time trying to help people who sometimes don't want it or think they need it. Or, worse yet, are 2nd-4th or more generation of government subsidy recipients and think it's normal to live that way.
